ONE fisherman from Halwill has put his recent luck down to a very special t-shirt.

Zyg Gregorek, of Anglers Paradise in Halwill, caught the winning carp from the monthly 5’C’S match — also known as the Crazy, Crafty, Cunning Carp Catchers match.

Zyg said: “I am very proud to say that I caught it wearing the same t-shirt I took to Cape Verde and managed to catch a thousand pound plus Blue Marlin which straightened the hook and came off. As the fish was going to be released and the leader was touched according to IGFA rules it counts.”

He added: “The interesting thing is that the match before we went to Cape Verde I wore the same t-shirt and won the match with a different 20lb carp. It looks like it works for catching fish.”
